Reviews

“Anneli Furmark brilliantly captures the immutable—how passion and desire may come to you when you least expect it, and how the dormant heart once woken will not lie. This beautifully rendered story of desire and longing lit me up.” —Hiromi Goto, Shadow Life

“Furmark gives us a very delicate book, mixing the sweetness of a new, beautiful, and important love with its pain, and the sour sadness of breaking something good. The story is masterfully told, and you read it like you watch a river flow, carried away by the calm but implacable waves. The grace and beauty of the artwork make it even more special. Walk Me To the Corner is a book you'll want to read when your heart aches a little, or when you're missing this particular aching.” —Mirion Malle, This Is How I Disappear, The League of Super Feminists

“The Swedish graphic novelist perfectly captures the rush, confusion and pain of a marriage exploded by unexpected attraction.” —Rachel Cooke, The Guardian

“Furmark (Red Winter) meditates on love, lust, and longing in midlife in this evocatively drawn and elegantly narrated outing.” —Publishers Weekly

“[Furmark's] candid reveal of an extramarital liaison unfolds in borderless panels—in shades of black and white, single-color washes or full-color vibrancy—as if to underscore the unpredictable clinging and cleaving of complicated alliances.” —Shelf Awareness
